    "Blood" is some of my favorite drumming of all time of any genre of music. I listen to it before I clock in at work. On the other hand, "Breath" was and still is a different kind of animal.

    Dude, first off hello! Drummer here and huge fan of your playing! you did those songs off of Ten so much justice! I was and still am blown away at how much better those songs sound with you and only you playing them. I’m still also blown away why you are not behind that kit, but that’s none of my business. Anyway breath was always one of my fav drum patterns of yours, an amazing song where you can block out everything and just listen to the drumming, so thanks for actually posting this I cannot stop listening to it! Also, I too want to hear this same thing done with even flow, that is by far the best remake in history! Thanks for your time and keep continuing to crush it Dave!

    Hi Dave! I always wondered if I would say something if I ever met someone from my favorite bands, and honestly I could never figure out what... however, this channel and your approach to it - and the simple way you reach to us mortals - told me I should be simple as well and just tell you how important to me Pearl Jam was when I was a teen in the 90s and how it was the beginning of a very good friendship with music and the discovery of it.
    The albums you play in have something about them in a way that I feel like they are recorded in a live take, which they're not, and they shine that way. There's a flow you don't feel much these days, and I love it. Music played with the heart in the right place 🤟
    Breath was probably one of the first "pirate" songs I heard from you guys and it holds a specical place in my heart.
    Do keep rockin'! For you and for us!
    Thank you
    * So excited to write here that I forgot to mention how your playing still influence the way I play drums 😂 But yeah, details...

    Okay, just discovered this channel! Dave, like many other fans, you are a personal inspiration and I hold you in such high regard. I didn't just listen to PJ, I studied the music and specifically your style and phrasing of each song. As a teenager, I was devastated to learn of your firing.
    I wasn't old enough to see you play with PJ live. By the time I discovered PJ and saw them in concert, it was with Jack Irons. He butchered those songs. Sure, there were a few notable tunes that came from that era, but nothing came close to comparing to the songs during your tenure and how you elevated their material.
    PJ was never the same, and I have not been able to bring myself to listen to them anymore, as it's left such a sour taste in my mouth. Thank you for persevering and creating this channel of content for yourself and your fans. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
    Heck, after watching these, I might even start listening to those old tracks again. Breath, Alone and Dirty Frank were my favorites from you. I've always felt they best showcased your unique style, distinct from any other drummer, especially in the grunge scene.
    We love you Dave.

    Thanks for uploading this Dave. I stated being a PJ fan back in 1993, with the VS album, however were I lived still Ten was released and known. Now listening to this track, which appears as a "B" side for the Evenflow sessions i notice a similarity with the track Bonzo's Montraux, from LZ. It probably means you, as it were back in the days, were also a big fan of John B. Thank you for sharing this, a couple of years ago i learnt the song to play with my band, obviously i missed a lot of licks.

    Great overhead view to see what’s going on with this badass groove! I didn’t know until now that he was hitting hihat with the left hand in between playing that ride pattern! Awesome!
